These scores have been showcased at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference\u00a0and covered by numerous publications. Our most popular score is the Player Athletic Index<\/strong><\/a>. This score takes into account a player’s height, weight, position, track and field results & multiple sport participation information.
